Serving Up Books in East Meadow

Kindergarten students from Pamela Tobin’s class at Parkway Elementary School celebrated Pick a Reading Partner month with a book tasting on March 10. Sponsored by the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers, PARP encourages literacy skills and aims to form a love of reading in students of all ages.
For the book tasting, Ms. Tobin’s class visited the school’s library and sat at tables full of books. The books were curated for each grade by librarian Jennifer Reed. She also provided students with a “menu” to write down their likes and dislikes. Students were able to share books and express their thoughts with their classmates.
